I wouldn't use any other brand when we have gatherings. Without fail my guests ask if I save them to wash and use later.... Heck no, throw them out... :).

I bought these thinking maybe they would work for everyday life, but not so. I would have gladly given a good review but these plates, both large and small ones, crack with little effort. Some of them crack just by lifting the plate between 3 fingers and also crack when pressing down on food with a fork to separate. I wouldn't recommend them, especially for a nice gathering. Chinette makes a better product.

Looks nice. Sturdy for a buffet

The plates were sturdy, and I believe they were a fair value.

Great for special party

Sturdy

They crack way too easy.

I purchased these for my mother's birthday dinner. It was a catered event at a nice vineyard. I wanted to avoid a great expense, but I wanted a quality disposable plate. They have a gray/silver trim to them. We used silver chargers with them. Nothing about the look of these plates gives you the impression that they are disposable! The table setting looked elegant and I received several compliments from our guests! The plates were not too heavy or too light. Our guests could pile as much food on their plates without concerns of dripping or collapsing. I wished I saved the ones that were thrown away. They were of such good quality that you could wash them and reuse them! I would recommend these!

Based on all the positive reviews, maybe we simply purchased a defective set. As soon as you put anything on the plate, or sometimes just picking it up, they crack! We have been less than pleased with them, but may try them again based on all the positive reviews.

I never thought I would be reviewing disposable plates, but this is a must-have -- especially around the holidays. I purchased a set for a party and my guests didn't believe these were disposable. Saved so much time with this purchase and will buy again.
